Having begun the laborious search for a new publisher, EP needed to attend to some housekeeping details before continuing its summer serial.

The next episode,  “An Altogether Different Angle,” will appear next week.

To those following the series closely, apologies for the delay.

To those discomfited  by the occasional 9,500 word column, not knowing what to make of the part without the whole, holiday routine!

And back to normal in September.
